Yes, this is what I meant. Sorry for being so brief. I was/am in a bit of a rush.

Aha, Ok, there is written:

I made this comment here to inform the MO team NOT about a person or some behaviour of a person.

But because of technical defect of a certificate of the mathoverflow site. I personally don't use the https: prefix in accessing MO. But Kaveh did for some reason and he posted such a prefixed link on the CS Theory site.

But the link did then not work for me. So I wanted to give attention to the fact that there is a wrong cert in use.

Could you explain what your given link has to do with the technical issue of HTTPs certs?

Best Regards

Kaveh from cstheory made https: links. I don't know why he made that.

But my browser reacted as follows:

mathoverflow.net verwendet ein ungültiges Sicherheitszertifikat. Das Zertifikat gilt nur für folgende Namen: *.stackexchange.com , stackexchange.com (Fehlercode: ssl_error_bad_cert_domain)
